I'm gonna have to stay away from the net from the time the finale airs (tomorrow morning for me) until tomorrow night when I can sit and watch it.

 

There is no way Walt is going to kill Elliott and Gretchen. The only reason they were brought back in last week was to prevent Walt from giving up and turning himself in.

Killing them would be meaningless and uncharacteristically spiteful.

 

Hopefully he will discover Jesse down the hole first, then they can take on Jack and the gang together, with Jesse getting to waste Todd. Maybe Walt will be able to orchestrate the whole affair in such as way as to make it clear that the Jack and all were the ones who killed Hank and Gomez.

I really wish the finale was 2 hours long instead of 50 / 60 mins. With only 50 / 60 mins to rap everything up this episode has got to feel rushed. With only 50 / 60 mins just a 3 second close up of someones face is wasting to much time.

They are going to have to something extraordinary to get everything wrapped up in 50 mins! I bet Vince Gilligan has something clever up his sleeve to make the 50 min finale work well.

I really expected it to be a bit more. I personally think

Walter deserved a better death, it really seems like he can go to the hospital and recover from that wound

.It was a great ending though don't get me wrong.. but it just seems a bit rushed to fit everything into the episode.

I liked it because he died with his masterpiece.

Fantastic show! I caught up to Breaking Bad Season 5 Part 1 in about 2 weeks, sad I didn't start the show when it began. Finale was so much better than Dexter!

As sick as he was, it makes sense. I feel like it wasn't rushed. The pacing was perfect.

It's the best series finale I've ever seen. They have really set the bar high.

 I thought Walt (Heisenberg) died in a very dignified way. It was also noble of him to poison Lydia who was Todd's crush, and kill everyone to let Jesse free. Heisenberg was born in a meth lab and then died in a lab. If you saw Jesse's expression when he found Walt poisoned Lydia with Ricin, he was kind of in a way happy. Felina was extremely satisfying finale for Breaking Bad!

I think the series finale is the best-directed episode I've ever seen. The ending was perfect. I was worried that there wouldn't be any closure and I'm glad it ended the way it did.

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft has been making major changes in its gaming wing Xbox for a few months now, including the appointment of a new CEO, a large number of leadership changes, and strategy shifts. However, the company is seemingly also looking at initiating a major layoffs wave at Xbox and perhaps even a studio closure. The new report lands from Kotaku, Xbox first-party developer Compulsion Games is being shuttered soon by Microsoft. For those unfamiliar with the studio, it's the team behind Contrast (2013), We Happy Few (2018), and South of Midnight (2025). Its latest game was quite well received, even winning a Peabody Award for its writing. It even received a 9/10 in Neowin's own review, highlighting its engaging storyline, gorgeous world, and curious characters. The studio joined Xbox Game Studios in 2018, just as Microsoft announced it is acquiring Playground Games, Undead Labs, and Ninja Theory. Despite recent listings for new staff roles, according to the new report, Compulsion Games is being closed entirely, with over 90 staff being let go. Kotaku also added that the studio's leadership is in negotiations with Microsoft about this decision, but no official details have been revealed yet. The report lands just as two senior managers of Xbox leave their posts at Microsoft Gaming. Head of Xbox Game Studios Craig Duncan and chief of staff Louise O'Connor originally began their journey in Rare and have been a part of Xbox for over two decades. Dunkan has been responsible for games like Kinect Sports and Sea of Thieves, while O'Connor was primarily working on Rare's Everwild project before its cancelation. If this report about the studio shutdown is accurate, this may just be the start of a major new layoffs wave at Xbox Game Studios. There are also rumors of Arkane Studios being heavily affected. As always, take all these reports with a grain of salt until something official materializes from Microsoft or the studios.
    • The flaw with this analysis is that this laptop has a cellphone CPU in it. In the Intel world, that would be an N150 and those are everywhere, even in low end laptops. You can get an N150 based NUC with 16GB RAM and 256GB-512GB SSD... NOT soldered in... for < $500 Canadian (around US$360). The problem is two fold: tech bloggers/writers on most tech site (like this one, ironically) overvalue Apple and apparently aren't in the same earnings class as most regular people. As a result, we get breathless articles about how everyone needs a folding phone when most people just cannot afford one... or really need one. And we get Apple used as the baseline metric regardless of whether that comparison makes any sense. If Dell or HP released a retail laptop with a cellphone motherboard, you'd be all over them for doing that - but Apple does it and it's genius. I see articles suggesting what Samsung - a company that basically started the foldable phone market and has built them for eight years - needs to do to compete with Apple's unreleased, unspecced and unseen folding phone. Sorry, no - if the Neo (really creative name there BTW - still, better than the Go, the other "creative" product name everyone's using) encourages PC makers to make cellphone laptops using lower end ARM processors, we all lose. It's a step backwards and a capitulation to the fact that semiconductor makers and computer OEMs (and tech bloggers) have totally lost the plot.
